< Ezekiel 37 >

1 It was on me [the] hand of Yahweh and he brought out me by [the] spirit of Yahweh and he set down me in [the] middle of the valley and it [was] full bones.
Na Awurade nsa wɔ me so na ɔde ne Honhom yii me firii adi de me bɛsii bɔnhwa no mfimfini, na nnompe ayɛ no ma.
2 And he made pass by me at them all around - all around and there! many [bones] very [were] on [the] surface of the valley and there! [they were] dry very.
Ɔde me dii akɔneaba wɔ mu na mehunuu nnompe bebree wɔ bɔnhwa no ase, nnompe a ɛho akokwa.
3 And he said to me O son of humankind ¿ will they live the bones these and I said O Lord Yahweh you you know.
Ɔbisaa me sɛ, “Onipa ba, saa nnompe yi bɛtumi anya nkwa anaa?” Mekaa sɛ, “Ao Otumfoɔ Awurade, wo nko ara na wonim.”
4 And he said to me prophesy to the bones these and you will say to them O bones dry hear [the] word of Yahweh.
Afei ɔka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, “Hyɛ nkɔm wɔ nnompe yi ho na ka kyerɛ wɔn sɛ, ‘Nnompe a mo ho akokwa, montie Awurade asɛm!
5 Thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh to the bones these here! I [am] about to bring in you breath and you will live.
Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade ka kyerɛ saa nnompe yi: Mɛma ahomeɛ aba mo mu na mobɛnya nkwa.
6 And I will give to you sinews and I will bring up over you flesh and I will cover over you skin and I will put in you breath and you will live and you will know that I [am] Yahweh.
Mɛma ntini abɛsosɔ mo mu, na mede ɛnam agu mo so na mede wedeɛ akata mo so. Mede ahomeɛ bɛgu mo mu na moaba nkwa mu. Afei wobɛhunu sɛ mene Awurade.’”
7 And I prophesied just as I was commanded and it came a sound when prophesied I and there! a rattling and they drew near [the] bones bone to bone its.
Ɛno enti mehyɛɛ nkɔm sɛdeɛ wɔhyɛɛ me no. Na megu so rehyɛ nkɔm no, ɛnne bi baeɛ, awosoɔ bi, na nnompe no keka bobɔɔ mu, dompe bɛkaa ne dompe ho.
8 And I saw and there! [were] on them sinews and flesh it came up and it covered over them skin from to above and [was] breath there not in them.
Na mehwɛeɛ hunuiɛ sɛ ntini baa so, na ɛnam baa ho na wedeɛ bɛkataa so, nanso na ahomeɛ biara nni mu.
9 And he said to me prophesy to the breath prophesy O son of humankind and you will say to the breath thus he says - [the] Lord Yahweh from four winds come O breath and blow on the killed ones these so they may live.
Afei ɔka kyerɛɛ me sɛ: “Hyɛ nkɔm kyerɛ ahome, hyɛ nkɔm onipa ba, na ka kyerɛ no sɛ, ‘Sei na Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Ahome, firi mframa ɛnan no mu bra bɛhome gu saa awufoɔ yi mu na wɔnya nkwa.’”
10 And I prophesied just as he commanded me and it came in them the breath and they lived and they stood on feet their an army great very very.
Enti mehyɛɛ nkɔm sɛdeɛ ɔhyɛɛ me no, na ahome hyɛnee wɔn mu; na nkwa baa wɔn mu ma wɔsɔre gyinagyinaa wɔn nan so, ɛdɔm kɛseɛ pa ara.
11 And he said to me O son of humankind the bones these [are] all [the] house of Israel they there! [they are] saying they have dried up bones our and it has been lost hope our we have been cut off ourselves.
Afei ɔka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, “Onipa ba, saa nnompe yi yɛ Israel efie nyinaa. Wɔka sɛ: ‘Yɛn nnompe ho akokwa na yɛn anidasoɔ asa. Wɔatwa yɛn agu korakora.’
12 Therefore prophesy and you will say to them thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh here! I [am] about to open graves your and I will bring up you from graves your O people my and I will bring you into [the] land of Israel.
Ɛno enti hyɛ nkɔm na ka kyerɛ wɔn sɛ: ‘Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Me nkurɔfoɔ, merebɛbuebue mo adamena na mayi mo afiri mu apue. Mede mo bɛsane aba Israel asase so.
13 And you will know that I [am] Yahweh when open I graves your and when bring up I you from graves your O people my.
Afei mo, me nkurɔfoɔ, sɛ mebuebue mo adamena na meyiyi mo firi mu a, mobɛhunu sɛ mene Awurade no.
14 And I will put spirit my in you and you will live and I will set down you on own land your and you will know that I Yahweh I have spoken and I will act [the] utterance of Yahweh.
Mede me Honhom bɛhyɛ mo mu na mobɛnya nkwa, na mede mo bɛtena mo ankasa asase so. Afei mobɛhunu sɛ me, Awurade na makasa na mayɛ nso, Awurade asɛm nie.’”
15 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
Awurade asɛm baa me nkyɛn sɛ:
16 And you O son of humankind take yourself a piece of wood one and write on it for Judah and for [the] people of Israel (associates its *Q(K)*) and take a piece of wood one and write on it for Joseph [the] piece of wood of Ephraim and all [the] house of Israel (associates its. *Q(K)*)
“Onipa ba, fa dua na twerɛ ho sɛ, ‘Yei gyina hɔ ma Yudafoɔ ne Israelfoɔ a wɔka ne ho no.’ Afei fa dua foforɔ na twerɛ ho sɛ, ‘Efraim dua a ɛyɛ Yosef ne Israel efie a wɔka ne ho nyinaa dea.’
17 And bring near them one to one yourself into a piece of wood one and they will become one in hand your.
Ka ne mmienu bɔ mu na ɛnyɛ dua baako wɔ wo nsam.
18 And just when they will say to you [the] children of people your saying ¿ not will you tell to us what? [are] these [things] to you.
“Sɛ wo nkurɔfoɔ ka sɛ, ‘Worenkyerɛ yɛn deɛ wode yei kyerɛ anaa a,’
19 Speak to them thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh here! I [am] about to take [the] piece of wood of Joseph which [is] in [the] hand of Ephraim and [the] tribes of Israel (associates its *Q(K)*) and I will put them with it [the] piece of wood of Judah and I will make them into a piece of wood one and they will be one in hand my.
ka kyerɛ wɔn sɛ, ‘Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Merebɛfa Yosef dua a ɛhyɛ Efraim ne Israel mmusuakuo a wɔka ne ho no nsa, na mede abɔ Yuda dua no mu ayɛ mmienu no baako, na wɔbɛyɛ baako wɔ me nsam.’
20 And they will be the pieces of wood which you will write on them in hand your to eyes their.
Ma nnua a woatwerɛtwerɛ ho no so kyerɛ wɔn
21 And speak to them thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh here! I [am] about to take [the] people of Israel from between the nations where they have gone there and I will gather them from round about and I will bring them into own land their.
na ka kyerɛ wɔn sɛ, ‘Yei ne deɛ Otumfoɔ Awurade seɛ: Mɛyi Israelfoɔ afiri amanaman a wɔkɔ soɔ no so. Mɛboaboa wɔn ano afiri afanan nyinaa na mede wɔn asane aba wɔn ankasa asase so.
22 And I will make them into a nation one in the land on [the] mountains of Israel and a king one he will become of all of them king and not (they will become *Q(K)*) again two nations and not they will be divided again into two kingdoms again.
Mɛyɛ wɔn ɔman baako wɔ asase no so wɔ Israel mmepɔ so. Ɔhene baako bɛdi wɔn nyinaa so na wɔrenyɛ aman mmienu bio, na wɔrenkyɛ mu nyɛ wɔn ahennie mmienu.
23 And not they will make themselves unclean again by idols their and by abominations their and by all transgressions their and I will save them from all dwelling places their which they have sinned in them and I will cleanse them and they will become for me a people and I I will become for them God.
Wɔremfa wɔn ahoni ne nsɛsodeɛ tantane no anaasɛ wɔn nnebɔne no mu bi ngu wɔn ho fi bio, na mɛgye wɔn nkwa afiri wɔn akyirisane bɔne mu na mɛte wɔn ho. Wɔbɛyɛ me nkurɔfoɔ na mayɛ wɔn Onyankopɔn.
24 And servant my David [will be] king over them and a shepherd one he will belong to all of them and in judgments my they will walk and statutes my they will keep and they will do them.
“‘Me ɔsomfoɔ Dawid bɛdi wɔn so ɔhene na wɔn nyinaa bɛnya odwanhwɛfoɔ baako. Wɔbɛdi me mmara so na wɔahwɛ mʼahyɛdeɛ ayɛ.
25 And they will dwell on the land which I gave to servant my to Jacob which they dwelt in it ancestors your and they will dwell on it they and children their and [the] children of children their until perpetuity and David servant my [will be] prince of them for ever.
Wɔbɛtena asase a mede maa me ɔsomfoɔ Yakob, asase a mo agyanom tenaa soɔ. Wɔne wɔn mma ne wɔn mma mma bɛtena hɔ afebɔɔ, na me ɔsomfoɔ Dawid bɛyɛ wɔn ɔberempɔn afebɔɔ.
26 And I will make to them a covenant of peace a covenant of perpetuity it will be with them and I will give them and I will increase them and I will put sanctuary my in midst of them for ever.
Me ne wɔn bɛyɛ asomdwoeɛ apam, ɛbɛyɛ apam a ɛte hɔ daa. Mɛma wɔatim na mama wɔadɔre na mede me kronkronbea bɛsi wɔn mu afebɔɔ.
27 And it will be dwelling place my with them and I will become for them God and they they will become for me a people.
Me tenabea bɛwɔ wɔn mu, mɛyɛ wɔn Onyankopɔn na wɔayɛ me nkurɔfoɔ.
28 And they will know the nations that I Yahweh [am] sanctifying Israel when is sanctuary my in midst of them for ever.
Afei amanaman no bɛhunu sɛ me Awurade, me na meyɛ Israel kronkron, ɛberɛ a me kronkronbea si wɔn mu afebɔɔ.’”
